After a bout with some sort of food poisoning, I've survived today and now am only slightly queasy. Many attorneys in town were sick after the county bar's barbeque this weekend. I can't help but think that there is some sort of joke in there, but I'm too close to the situation to come up with one being both a lawyer and a victim of food poisoning.
So I spent the day at home and read a little bit from the novel I am Charlotte Simmons (I am not recommending the book to anyone since it is pretty offensive, but it is a fascinating topic and has so much to say about our culture). After that I felt inclined to pick up Kierkegaard after taking a long rest from his writings. His distinctions are really interesting, but I'm never quite certain that I agree with his assessment as to the impacts of his hair-splitting observations. (Jesus was God-man or Jesus was a man and was God and the contradiction is what makes his life a sign. It all goes back to living your life as a contemporary with Christ...). That said it's pretty fun to have to think on that level and engage my mind in that way.
In an unrelated matter, I found a link for Jim. It plays the tune for many, many hymns and may come in handy if we ever decide to have an evening of hymn singing again.

A big thumbs up to the hymn websie...I love the autoplay feature!
Not just that the art,history and scripture references are wonderful
I can't wait for the next sing-a-long, especially since I missed the last one.
P.S. Will anyone be sued?
Did they actually have the hymn sing along without us? I never thought to ask.
No one will get sued, but we'll all be avoiding potato salad in the future.
Finney said that the husband and children skipped the sing-a-long, which I personally think is deplorable but typical as I am the only one who adores hymn sing-a-longs.
